Have you ever had a work frienemy?

I've recently started working at a custom fabrication shop. My father began teaching me how to weld when I was 9. At 13 I was quite proficient in Mig, Tig, Stick and Flux cored. Its not rocket science. I've 26 months active experience from a previous employer, a good work ethic and a solid reference.

But unlike the easy going camaraderie of previous work mates...only female there as well; a few these new guys kinda wanna be all condescending, sexist a basically jerk wads.

I've no thin skin. I can talk shit with the best of them. But its like....damn. Clock out an Im ready to escape. 🤷‍♀️
